5 It has all the main material to practitioner level aswell as many exercises, suggestions and resources that go further. It is called a WORKBOOK because it is practical it works, you can change yourself and your worldwith the ideas and techniques here. It is not a WORKBOOK in the sense of hard work NLP is remarkably easy, intuitive and is about your experience how you know the world and everyone in it, howyou do what you do, how you create your own reality, with its heights and depths. Ihope this book will tell you how to see, hear and feel more of the world, to know your-self better and to understand others more clearly.
